Emergency lighting

Why would I need emergency lighting?

Due to the requirements of the Estonian Rescue Board and the Fire Safety Act, it is obligatory in certain buildings.

The well-being and safety of your people.

Secure exit along evacuation routes.

Easier location of fire-fighting and safety equipment.

A safe exit for your people in case of fire

In domestic households, a power cut would probably not cause safety issues, but in industrial or office buildings with a large number of people, the lack of lighting could hinder evacuation. Emergency lighting systems were created to prevent such situations.

Forus as a partner will help you install a suitable emergency lighting system in your building, ensuring the evacuation of staff and visitors in emergencies.

Emergency lighting

In accordance with the law, emergency lighting is a fire safety installation. Its main purpose is ensuring the necessary level of visibility in stairwells, exits, high-risk areas, and other hazardous areas.

Emergency lighting ensures a secure escape along evacuation routes for people on the premises and the easy location and use of fire fighting and safety equipment. For this, we install visual direction signs.

Emergency lighting must be installed in:

establishments providing accommodation
medical, care, and special regime institutions
places where people congregate (including catering facilities, post offices, various public buildings and institutions)
evacuation stairwells of residential and office buildings with six or more floors that lack natural light
basements with several floors

Emergency lighting must support the evacuation of the building, reduce panic, allow to stop all activities and turn off devices or stop processes. Moreover, it must support rescue operations.

Emergency lighting is categorised according to its purpose:

This lighting marks a safe route out of a building or part of a building in the event of a power failure. They usually turn on when there is a power failure.

Anti-panic emergency lights are installed in rooms where panic may occur in the event of a power failure. The task of these lights is to ensure the safe movement of people towards the exits and from there to the evacuation route.

Lighting is designed to ensure the safety of people in a potentially dangerous activity or situation. The lighting is installed in a high-risk working area, for example in technical systems or their control room.

Safety signs include exit signs, emergency exit signs, and all other safety signs that must be legible in an emergency.
